Simone Biles won the all-around gymnastics title for her second Olympic gold in Paris and her sixth overall to secure her place again at the top of her sport with yet another shining slice of history.
The American, who won the championship at Rio 2016 and had been favourite at Tokyo 2020 before she pulled out, became the oldest winner of her sport’s blue-riband event for 72 years in front of yet another celebrity-studded throng at the Bercy Arena.
Rebeca Andrade of Brazil won silver, while Sunisa Lee, the reigning champion, took home bronze.
As if there was any question about the fact that the most decorated gymnast in history is the best of all time, Biles accessorised her celebration with a glittering goat necklace.
